Short form. A lot of writers consider it to be cheating. Maybe it is. Although, I will always suggest writing short form. Why? It’s simple. Writing short form gets you producing. Whether you are a new writer or a seasoned writer there is no better psychological sense of achievement than completing a task.

For new writers, it is easier. Fewer words, more stories. Gaining writing momentum at the start can be difficult. What makes it difficult? The intimidating number of words required to write an article. How do you overcome this? Write short form. Learning to write concisely? Write short form.

For seasoned writers, it is easier. Yes, you may think writing short form is cheating but what if it is exactly what you need to be doing. Are you experiencing writer's block? Write short form. Do you have an idea for an article but want to write straight to the point? Write short form.

Writing short form is a skill all writers should grow accustomed to. Tik Tok and Youtube shorts are doing well. Why should writing be any different?
